Int 13 Fn 05  - Future Domain Scsi BIOS - Send Scsi Mode Select Command    [d]

   AH = 05h
   DL = hard drive ID
   ES:BX -> mode select data (see below)

Return: CF set on error
   AH = status code (see AH=01h)

Notes: this function can be called before AH=07h"SCSI" or AH=06h"SCSI" to
     format a SCSI disk with the desired parameters
   the mode select data below is from the SCSI-1 specification
   the TMC-950 does not support any Future Domain BIOS calls; instead,
     it provides a full CAM implementation (see INT 4F/AX=8100h)
